The issue that I am having with my 2007 lexus es 350 is while im in motion on a highway or street both of my headlights will shut off leaving the street completely dark putting me and my family at risk for an accident. I have to manually turn the headlight switch off then on again and thats when they will come back on, however this can happens several times while in motion during one extend driving period. Sometimes the left headlight will turn off and the right stays on and vice versa for the right or both. I contacted the dealership and they said I needed the headlamp replaced but once I did some research on this issue with the make and model of my vehicle I realized there are numerous of individuals having the same dangerous issue with having the headlamps replace the issue still remains the headlamps shut off completely inhibiting the view of the highway at night.

The headlights turn off randomly. Sometimes it's the left headlight and sometimes it's the right headlight and other times it's both headlights. It happens at night and during the day. No warning no indication only that the road goes black. It happens when the car is stationary and while driving it happens summertime and winter time. The only way to get them on is to turn them off and on. The problem occurs regardless of whether the headlight switch is in the on or auto position. Problem is continual.

Exterior lights on low beam intermittently go off, first one side then sometimes the other, I was once traveling on the interstate at night 70 MPH and they both went out. Once I pulled over and turned them on and off several times they came back on and about 10 miles down the road the right one went out again. This has been going on for about 6 months. My mechanic replaced the bulbs and checked fuses. It's still happening. Oddly, when the headlight goes out the indicator light on the dash doesn't light up either. Sometimes I'd drove the car into work and someone would say I have a headlight out and I'd take it to my mechanic (which happened more than I can say) and they would be fine, until the next time. This is a serious safety issue and I'm not sure if my car will pass the annual inspection. There's only 81,000 miles.

My right headlight began to flicker and did so for several weeks, then the left one started to do the same thing. Now they both completely shut off when I'm driving. I need to turn them on and off several times before they come back on. This is not only frightening, but extremely dangerous. Makes me afraid to drive after dusk. To add to the matter...... Recently, my passenger side window fell off of the track. My husband was able to manipulate the window to get it to stay up...but now I am unable to use that window. This week my driver side window has done the same thing. When a window falls out of it's track it is totally unexpected and causes a major distraction...especially when it's right next to you on the driver's side! One more item...... Now my sideview mirrors change position while I'm driving. I couldn't understand why when I was driving I could no longer view vehicles in the lanes next to me and then I realized my mirrors had changed. Again, a safety issue because now I need to readjust my mirrors while I'm driving. I can't believe this is the quality of a lexus! What's next????

I was driving on the interstate and both head lights went out at 70 MPH. The problem started with one light then the other with no reason. You can switch them on and off several time and they usually come back on but when they both went off at the same time at 70mph they restored a 8 times! I took the car the dealer and instantly they start talking about what I needed to pay. I should not have to pay for manufactures defect. As many many 2007 es 350s are having the same problem, but there no recall. This a safety issue. I do not have a case open with the lexus corporation but they are singing the same song as the dealer. I guess someone has to seriously injured or die like es350 that had the acceleration problem to pay attention. Very sad.

Low beam xenon headlight on drivers & passengers side intermittently shuts off. At times both low beam headlights flicker and shut off completely causing no vision at night. When the lights are switched off then back on they work once again but usually for a few minutes only. Pulled over by cops and when. It seems like it is a know problem and lexus does not want fix it!!!

While driving at night my headlights went out. I turned them off and on quickly and they came back on. This has happened several times since the first incident. This is a serious safety concern. I googled to see iof there have been other reports of this problem and I was shocked to see so many. I was also shocked to see that the dealers wanted to replace the headlights before checking the electrical system or computer. It happened again tonight and I plan on contacting my local lexus dealer tomorrow morning.
